My feelings are that you are using new, and, innovated Slavonic manuscripts -- All my manuscripts are Pre-Nikon. I will admit, however, that you may know your innovated Slavonic better then I know Slavonic -- unless I am mistaken altogether.

St. Meletius the Confessor – Submit not yourselves to monastics, nor to presbyters, who teach lawless things and evilly propound them. And why do I say only monastics or presbyters? Follow not even after bishops who guilefully exhort you to do and say and believe things that are not profitable. What

You are mistaken altogether because you do not seem to understand what CASES are. There are seven cases in Old Church Slavonic (six in modern vernacular Russian). Names and nicknames should be used in the NOMINATIVE case ("вєликий" - or, even more appropriate if it refers to St. Basil the Great, "Bєликий," with the capital B). Using a nickname in a different case, other than nominative (in your profile, the genetive case is used, "вєлікАГО") - is simply nonsensical. It's like I am asking a man, "what is your name," and he says, 'belonging to John."

This is somewhat hard for English native speakers to grasp. Most European languages use cases, but English generally does not, though there are some vestigial instances (you, your, they, them, their, etc.). If вєликаго has not studied Latin or Modern Russian, or even German, this will not make sense to him. Other languages may have similar cases, but I have not studied them and cannot speak authoritatively on them.

вєликаго - Basically your nickname is incorrect. It means "of the great". It sounds as discordant to Heorhij as "all your base are belong to us" would to us.

Don't know about the Slavs, but among the Egyptians, ancient and modern, it is possible. One such name in Coptic Bapnoudi has passed into Russian (via Greek Παφνούτιος) as Пафнутий. It means "belonging to God."

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.A hasty quarrel kindles fire,and urgent strife sheds blood.If you blow on a spark, it will glow;if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth

I think the genitive case is the only case in English where nouns get marked ('s.) Pronouns, as pointed out above, change much more according to case. Adjectives, though, don't. At least I don't think they do.
